Girl's Mushroom Beret Pattern

MATERIALS:
Our models of this beret were knitted with P & B Superior Double Knitting, Patonised. This wool, firmly knitted as given in the instructions has the "body" needed to preserve the mushroom effect. 2 ozs. are required for sizes 2 and 4 yrs. (6 and 8 yrs.—4 ozs.). Also two No. 8 Queen Bee Knitting Needles.

HEAD SIZE: 20 to 20¾ ins. to fit 2 and 4 years. 20¾ to 21¼ ins. to fit 6 and 8 years.

To make headband: Beginning with knit row, work 7 rows even in Stocking st. ending with knit row.
Knit 1 row to turn hem.
Beginning with knit row, work 4 rows even in Stocking st.
Cast off loosely enough to allow this edge to fit easily around head. Sew up back seam. Turn the last 4 rows of headband, under at the knit row to form a hem and sew in position. Turn the whole hem under to wrong side and tack lightly in position about ½ inch from face edge.
